really? I assumed it would still be wet from today... Thats lame... gotta go to a st patricks day party...

What time does it end?

It POURED in the east bay today...

Put on my geek hat and tweaked out the old PC a little bit more before it gets relegated to shop duty... nephew has a P5K Hackintosh with 8GB Ram, 1 TB drive, Blue Ray, and butt kicking video that he is giving me since it is a little slow for what he needs to do.

Just need to pick up a decent sound card for it.

Time travel?

lol

Because it is.... Core 2 was ages ago for me... I'm already on my 2nd Intel Core iX series chip... the generational performance difference is massive BTW comparing any iX series chip to a C2Q/D. Nonetheless if you aren't doing much, it's more than enough for you.

Soundcard? Asus Xonar ;)

idk, I'm on the sj/milpitas border and we're getting some crazy ass storms atm.

Today I am happy that I am one day closer to a healed knee and riding again

Yay!

Booo.

:innocent: :D

Today I got my wheels tried (finally) and worked. I, unfortunately, missed the baldening of Misskaz. I saw pics though. She rocks it, and doesn't look the least bit like Sinead O'Connor or GI Jane...

His main machine is off the scale fast... he does massive amounts of video editing and runs 24 gigs of ram and state of the art everything.

I just surf the web, do a lot of image editing, and watch netflix and movies... if you aren't doing a lot of hard core online gaming or video work you really don't need that much and think gaming is what has really driven technology forward as lots of these require some massive power.

My earliest experiences with computers started with tape drives, had one of the early generation Macs when 2 megs of ram and 100 megs of external hard drive was the sweetest ride on the block and cost you over $3500.00.

:)

My old desktop machine, from which I now do a lot of work is a 10 year old P1 with a whopping gig of ram running XP... will upgrade the OS to Windows 7 and see if I can't find a P3 chipset for the board to make it a more capable shop computer.

Looks good... :)

WOW. You're going from turtle to apollo saturn rocket speed here. Better buckle up. No lie.

Wait a minute before you go running off and picking up one of these potentially pricey cards; what speakers are you planning to hook up to the machine? I have to ask this as considering you're coming off of a PI machine, onboard audio has come a LONG way since that time. If you're just going to be using your old run of the mill desktop stereo speakers/ headphones and no plans of expanding to surround audio, than there's absolutely no need. The performance is parallel in that aspect.

I hate it when my friends insist on buying blu rays for the better quality then run it through the tv's speakers. It always sounds horrible.

Finished my first week of 8-hour shifts. Managed to score a half-hour of overtime too. I took my wife to our favorite sushi joint, went way off-kilter with our menu choices, and ended up with a TERRIBLE meal.

My new brakes arrived for the road bike, so I finally got a chance to button everything up. It's taken me a bit of time to acclimate to adjusting derailleurs, but I think I'm really starting to get the hang of it. I really need a repair stand though.

Ending my night with a Sopranos marathon. Halfway through season one, I love it.

These are the guys that buy beats by dres to listen to youtube rips. I never buy blue rays... I have other means.... geee internet so fast and massive storage space... I can easily source film reels :rolleyes: ;) ;).

My nephew said the same thing... "buckle up".

Just got a new HD LG tv / monitor that has surprisingly good audio, a fairly decent headset, and plan to pipe my sound out through an amp into my home speakers when all I want to do is rack the tunes and jam on my guitar.

A better than average sound card won't be a waste here.

Found this thread... ( dead real squirrels, thought it was kinda relevant to the ssfg community...)

I hope this doesn't explain squirelli's rather recent disappearance.

I brake for squirrels. I almost have ran over countless though.. the sqrls at penn state are really stupid. A friend of mine actually hit a bunny :(

Scored a Job in a local bike shop!

KEEP SHAVING

went back to my high-end LBS, asked for a 1/2x3/32 chain:

"how many speeds?"

"uh...one."

"then you mean 1/2x1/8."

"no, really i just need a 3/32. it's for my fixed commuter." then showing him the panel i tore off the box from the last chain.

"fine (rolls eyes), i guess." finally handing me a chain from behind the counter...

......why. so. difficult.

Yesterday I found out I need a new headset cuz mine got damaged in shipping, and my chainring and cog are worn down to the point of needing replaced. I'm debating just getting a new bike, or buying a frame and building it with a combination of stuff I've already bought and things I need.

Last night I averaged 19.85 mph over my 7 mile commute and peaked at 26.5, running 46/16. Not bad, especially after working for 13.5 hours in a kitchen.

Today I'm surrounded by a sea of drunken ******** wearing green and smelling of cheap booze. Kill me now.

Because you asked for the wrong thing, then argued with him about it.

He asked for a chain. The guy should have gotten him the chain he asked for.

He didn't ask for the wrong chain either...

typo'd the 1/8x3/32 i assumed... meant 1/2x3/32?

1/8 x 3/32 would make me go huh, for sure!

I wanna see the box that has those markings.

typo?

Yah, first line's gotta have a typo. Only way the story makes any sense.

yes. typo......fixed it. :)

funny part is i was warned about the shop, but it's the only bike shop w/ actual bike stuff out right now.

the owner likes to -tell- people what they need, rather than suggest.
